So yeah. I haven't tried multiplayer, but the game was working fine in the single-player mode until I patched it. Now that I've done that, it crashes every time I get into the lobby. The rest of the menus work fine (though I haven't tried multiplayer).
When I get into the skirmish menu it crashes in a few ways depending on what I do. If I just leave it and don't do anything, the game closes. If I add another player, it comes up with an error box that's completely blank. If I try to change my character, it'll be fine for about three seconds then the error box comes up with this message:

The only thing that seems to change is this part: info: text="Cerzel has chosen The Rook." All that changes is what character it says, depending on what character I had selected before it crashed. If I try to keep going it comes up with a generic Windows error message and the game closes. Supposedly there's more in the demigodlog.txt file, but I'll be buggered if I can find it.
I've tried using Impulse's "Verify Installation" function, and every time I do it tells me "Demigod is not installed correctly. Please look for an application update." The My Games tab says there's an update available after I do this, though the Updates tab doesn't. Anyway, if I update, it does its stuff for a while (though it doesn't download anything) and then says it's updated. Only the same thing still happens every time.
Demigod does show that it's version 1.00.0093 in the main menu, so I at least know the patch installed. But I can't figure out any way to fix it, bar reinstalling. On that note, if I uninstall the game on Impulse, Will the files I need to install still be there, or will I need to download it again? If it's the latter, I'd really rather wait for another solution.
